VANCOUVER, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm" or
the "Company") (NYSE MKT: SAND, TSX: SSL) has released its unaudited
results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013 (all
figures in U.S. dollars).

Average cash cost per ounce1 of $420 resulting in cash operating margins1 of $981.

Net loss of $74.6 million.

Acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Premier Royalty.

Completed a $10 million loan to Luna Gold Corp. ("Luna") in accordance
with a previously announced commitment to issue a non-revolving loan
facility to Luna.

Acquired a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") on the Paul Isnard
gold project located in French Guiana and owned by Columbus Gold
Corporation.

Acquired a 1.2% precious metal NSR on the Prairie Creek project located
in the Northwest Territories, Canada from Canadian Zinc Corporation.

Amended the previously announced gold stream with Mutiny Gold Ltd. to a
2.6% gold stream on the Deflector mine.

Entered into a streaming agreement with Entrée Gold Inc. to purchase
25.7% and 33.8% of Entrée's 20% share of the gold and silver produced
from the Heruga and Hugo North Extension deposits in Mongolia.

Sandstorm President & CEO Nolan Watson commented, "Amidst a challenging
gold price environment in 2013, our streaming partners demonstrated the
economic strength of their mining operations as the average all-in cost
of the mines underlying our four key streams was close to $1,000 per
ounce by the end of the year." Watson added, "Our focus is building
shareholder value by growing and diversifying our production base and
cash flow through the acquisition of streams and royalties."

Outlook

Based on the existing gold streams and including attributable production
relating to the Company's NSRs, forecasted 2014 attributable production
is between 40,000 to 50,000 gold equivalent ounces, increasing to
approximately 60,000 of gold equivalent ounces per annum by 2016. This
growth is largely driven by the Company's portfolio of gold streams
with mines, most of which are either currently producing or expected to
commence production by 2015.

Note 1: Sandstorm has included certain performance measures in this
press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including average
cash cost per ounce of gold and cash operating margin. Average cash
cost per ounce of gold is calculated by dividing the total cost of
sales, less depletion, by the ounces sold. In the precious metals
mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have
any standardized meaning. The Company believes that, in addition to
conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain
investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance
and ability to generate cash flow. Cash operating margin is calculated
by subtracting the average cash cost per ounce of gold from the average
realized selling price per ounce of gold. The Company presents cash
operating margin as it believes that certain investors use this
information to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to
other companies in the precious metals mining industry who present
results on a similar basis. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures
is intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance
prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these
non-IFRS measures differently.
